What Guan Shigu said was rather tragic.

He Yu said excitedly: "Guan Zhizhou, the last general is willing to hold off the enemy. You can lead your men to break out of the siege and go to Huanqing Road to ask for reinforcements!"

Guan Shigu said nothing. He continued to count the books. After the counting was completed, he began to make arrangements.

"Report! There is a group of Xixia people heading south."

He Yu looked solemn and said: "Could it be true that the Xixia people said that Xizhou soldiers and horses surrendered!"

Guan Shigu closed the book and said: "Without further ado, distribute it. After everyone has finished eating, they will line up and prepare to attack!"

"yes!"

At this time, Li Yanxian led the soldiers and horses brought from Xizhou, Huizhou and Xi'an Prefecture, and headed north in a mighty manner.

He killed Wang Yi in public, captured Xu Chongyan, and avenged Wang Quan. Later, he recalled Liu Qian, the deputy general manager, and he also did another major event in the past two days, which brought Li Yanxian's prestige in the army to its peak.

What's up?

They made statistics on the distribution of military pay for the entire army, the distribution of pensions for the wounded in the past, and the distribution of military rations.

These undoubtedly temporarily stabilized the morale of the military and stimulated its morale.

Li Yanxian has never commanded an army of more than 10,000 people. In his current state, it is very difficult to command 35,000 people in combat, and it is impossible to get started immediately in a short time.

Therefore, he handed over the overall command to Liu Qian.

Liu was formerly the deputy general manager and had experience in dispatching large armies, but he still had not commanded tens of thousands of people in frontal combat.

However, the timing was extraordinary and there was no other way.

This battle must be fought head-on!

"Li Zhizhou, please take care of yourself!" Liu Qian clasped his fists.

Li Yanxian cupped his fists and said, "Everyone! Let's go and kill the enemy. We will all fight to the death. See you in the Martyrs' Shrine!"

After saying that, he led a group of people and began to separate from the main army.

Li Yanxian commanded 6,000 men, went against the main force, bypassed Gaolan Mountain in the opposite direction, and entered Gaolan Mountain at a rapid marching speed.

Their mission was to take the trail of Gaolan Mountain, pass through it, and then go back to the side and rear of the Xixia people, catching the Xixia people by surprise.

The mist in the mountains slowly dispersed, and there was already some greenery in the forest.

Li Yanxian's men and horses were like a long dragon walking on the mountain path.

These places are the most remote and dangerous.

There are even roads in some places where only one person can walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall down. The bottom is covered with rocks, and if you fall, you will die.

This is the only way that the other party's scouts will not penetrate deeply.

Only in this way can you avoid being discovered by the other party.

And you can only go during the day, and you can't go in advance, because there are too many unknown changes in the mountains.

Therefore, they must rush on their way as soon as possible. If the main army approaches the Xixia people and the time for pretending to surrender runs out, they must fight head-on with the Xixia people.

However, there was a huge disparity in the total strength of the two sides, and it was obviously impossible to defeat the Xixia people immediately in a frontal battle.

Therefore, Li Yanxian must be fast, faster than usual!

In addition to those gathered from Huizhou, the group of people he led also included strong soldiers who jumped out of the Xizhou Army.

With Li Yanxian taking the lead, everyone followed the large army in silence.

At noon, Li Liangfu led 30,000 people, with a mighty force, a forest of swords and guns, and flags covering the sky, and they had arrived at the agreed place.

He squinted his eyes and saw the Song army marching all the way from behind Gaolan Mountain, spread out horizontally, and numbered tens of thousands of people.

Atuhan said: "Li Shuai, the scouts have finished checking. There is no ambush in Gaolan Mountain."

Li Liangfu said with a smile: "Even the general's head has been sent. Wang Yi has no room for regrets."

"Li Shuai, you still have to be careful, in case it's Wang Yi's trick!"

"You would use the general's head to make a sacrifice?" Li Liangfu disagreed.

He, Li Liangfu, has also experienced hundreds of battles, so he naturally knows the tricks.

But who would be stupid enough to use the general's head as a trick?

When a general is killed, morale is greatly affected, and the whole army can be destroyed by a slight mistake.

Do you think that marching and fighting are just games, that as long as you think you can, you can succeed?

Atuhan said: "Commander Li, please give me 10,000 troops, and I will be willing to lead the surrender."

"Okay, it's up to you!" Li Liangfu said in high spirits.

After another hour, a large force led by Liu Qian came over.

The Xixia army could clearly see the Song army's military formation.

The Xixia people dispersed their cavalry and began to approach the Song army, mainly for reconnaissance.

"Report! The Song Army is approaching!"

Atuhan immediately sent a group of envoys there.

Liu Qian also sent people there.

The Xixia envoy said: "Let your people put down all their weapons, and then move them five miles to the west, and separate each battalion and each team. We will arrange for someone to lead the team!"

The envoy from the Song Army went back and passed the message to Liu Qian, who said, "Tell them to give us some time."

The Song army began to move, but it was just small movements, and they moved in an orderly manner.

Liu Qian looked towards Gaolan Mountain and wondered where Li Yanxian was now. Time was running out.

"Then why did the Song army move so slowly?"

Li Liangfu immediately sent someone to urge Atuhan.

Atuhan sent envoys to urge the Song army.

At this time, Li Yanxian's 6,000 men had already passed through the most difficult place and reached the foothills all the way.

That place was very remote, still more than ten miles away from Xixia's main force at this time.

If we want to take a roundabout route to the rear of the Xixia army, the distance will be at least twenty miles.

Li Yanxian reorganized his formation at the foot of the mountain.

It would be absolutely no problem for him to quickly rectify the six thousand people.

The soldiers replenished their food supplies again, paused for a while, and then started on their way.

Fortunately, it is not the infantry armor in the Guards Brigade, which needs to carry dozens of kilograms of armor, so the difficulty of marching is greatly reduced.

At this time, the vague outline of Lanzhou City can be vaguely seen.

Liu He said to Li Yanxian: "Li Shuai, the time agreed between us and Deputy General Manager Liu has passed!"

"I know!"

"What should we do now?"

Li Yanxian said firmly: "Follow the original plan!"

At this time, Li Liangfu realized something was wrong. The Song army kept procrastinating and the formation did not disperse at all.

He sent someone to send a message to Atuhan: "Give the Song army an ultimatum. If they are not willing to surrender, go to war!"

Atuhan impatiently sent several envoys, preparing to give the Song army a last chance.

The envoy of the Song Army left the midfield.

The envoys chased after them desperately, but as soon as they entered a few hundred meters away from the Song army's front line, Liu Qian began to give orders: "God-arm crossbows, shoot the Xixia people!"

He gave the order, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew out in an instant.

As soon as those Xixia envoys entered the shooting range, they were shot off their horses.

As soon as Atuhan saw something was wrong, he immediately shouted loudly: "The Song army faked a surrender!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the horns of the Song Army sounded, echoing in the vast northwest land.
Chapter completed!
